Letters to Ellie

To every girl who stayed too long,
To every person who tried to shrink to fit,
To everyone who once needed air.

I write to remember the parts of me I keep forgetting.
The girl I used to be. The girl I'm becoming.
This is a story told in fragments of love that bruised, silences that screamed, and of a girl learning to choose herself before it's too late.

Call it survival. Call it heartbreak. Call it growing up.
These are letters I never sent. But maybe, one day, I'll read them back and finally understand.

Letters to Ellie.
From me. To me.
